VERSE: Ex19-12c

RASHIS COVERED: Ex19-12c Ex18-06b

======================== Ex19-12c ===============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently made inferences based on the Biblical STYLE.
We call this Rashi Rule the RABBI ISHMAEL STYLE rule.

A powerful style rule was the painting of a verse in a
CLIMACTIC DEVELOPMENT manner. We call this the RASHI SUBRULE of
CLIMAX

EXAMPLE Ex19-12c
----------------
The text of Ex19-12c states that God told Moses to
tell the people to
------------------------------------
Avoid touching the mountain
[AND EVEN] avoid touching the perimeter
------------------------------------

Rashi comments
--------------------------------------------------
The sequence MOUNTAIN-PERIMETER is in CLIMAX order
--------------------------------------------------

We have hilighted the Rashi explanation by inserting
the CAPPED words AND EVEN (which dont appear in the
Biblical text)

LIST451e summarizes this Rashi

EXAMPLE 2 Ex18-06b
------------------
In Ex18-06b Jethro tells Moses
--------------------------------------------------------
We are coming
'                Me (Father in Law)
'                Your wife
'                Your children
--------------------------------------------------------

Rashi's point is one of CLIMAX
- Meeting a Father in law is JUST A SOCIAL OBLIGATION
- Meeting a wife is SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO
- Meeting children is SOMETHING THEY NEED
